About Me

Monday, August 18, 2014

Yes, I like to make things from scratch. But there's no need to make EVERYTHING yourself. I have made ravioli before, but don't shy away from buying high-quality filled pasta from a pasta purveyor or even a warehouse store.

I draw the line with the sauce though. I am scared of the tubs of Alfredo and other sauces you can buy at the grocery store. Too many preservatives, gums and -ates for my liking. Plus, when a sauce can be easily and quickly made with ingredients you're likely to have in the pantry, why bother?

Here's a rich creamy, cheesy sauce I concocted for some spinach ravioli we had last weekend. It would be wonderful as a mac and cheese base too, I am betting.
